Some of those items sound nice and most of them are cosmetic or entertainment related. For performance go with the headers. I would do that first.

I dunno.. personally, I think installing TVs in the headrests is a waste... YOU can't watch them while you're driving (which, I would assume, is why you are in your car to begin with) and passengers usually sit up front when they're with you. Do you really care about your rear seat passengers so much that you want to spend a ton of money on THEM to be able to watch TV while you drive??
I don't really see the point in an in-dash DVD player either since your eyes should really be on the road. Movies and TV can always be watched at home or a buddy's house.
Mod something else.
*Shrug* Just my opinion.

Do the TV in headrest and DVD player at teh same time first. Then bag it. Then kit it. The comptech headers that you want are a waist of money since ur going for show.

the trim piece in the picture is completely custom. if you want one your gonna have to find someone to make it, or buy mine. everything you see here is for sale any questions pm me.. id say you pretty much have to decide wether you wont show or go. i spent about 10 grand(give or take) on show, and about 2(give or take) on go. if i decided i wanted to be all go, trust me, i coulda had a 3.5 conversion AND a supercharger for that same 10 grand. to me speed is kinda silly. no one knows you spent 10 grand on a bigger head and supercharger. the only time you really get to enjoy it is right before you get pulled over by the cops or at the track. and even at the track you spend 10 grand to shave maybe 2 seconds off your quarter mile time. when i drive down the road, everyone knows i spent money on my car, and the tropies prove it also. i also turn more heads at a red light than a viper even though when the light turns, he dosent care because hes gone. id say decide if you wanna go show or go. then decide what you need to get there.

Personally, I'd put in a sweet sounding audio system. You'll enjoy it more than any other mod listed (only exception would be the headers).

Unless you have a sound system already (a good investment imo, especially since I love looking like a big shot by blasting my stereo, hehe), I would go for that more than stupid TVs, especially since they'll be in the backseats and you'll never be able to see them unless you let someone else drive, which would defeat the whole purpose of owning our beasts. I would opt for the Comptech Headers, you could never have too much performance and that would help you get up there a little quicker (with all these ricers and our BMW/Infiniti/MB/whoever else counterparts, we need to hold our own on the road). The Wings West options also help, especially if you don't have any form of spoiler on the car, it adds a whole another look to the ride as a whole.
